After debuting at No. 1 last week, Earl Hines’s album Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington (cd1) falls to No. 2 with 929,000, a sales slide of 82%. fifteen years ago, Earl Hines briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Sophisticated Lady”. For older fans Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington (cd1) will put a massive smile accross your face. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
Sophisticated Lady is one of these floating songs. From the moment you listen to I’m Beginning to See the Light you’re hooked. Black and Tan Fantasy is the song that really did it for me. Warm Valley is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Musically Do Nothin’ Till You Hear from Me is superior to other tracks in Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington (cd1). Listening to C Jam Blues you can hear that Earl Hines has still amazing chemistry with band members. It’s such an underrated song. Everything But You is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. I can’t stop playing Mood Indigo. Just Squeeze Me can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Earl Hines is all about. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
